With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Although Nangong Chengkun is of bad character, apart from that one time when he tried to steal the petals of the Seven-Colored Lotus, he has not done anything excessive to her or the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion, so it is not worth her having to go to the trouble of targeting him.

"Nangong Wu, if you don't hand over those weapons today, I will take back everything I gave you." When Emperor Mingde saw that his soft approach wasn't working, he threatened her with the entire Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion.

"Alright." Nangong Wu nodded, unfazed by his words. "But I also have something to tell you. From now on, the survival of the Western Yan Kingdom is no longer my concern."

If she takes her father and brother away and severs ties with the royal family, the Western Yan Kingdom will surely perish within a year.

"Good! Very good!" Emperor Mingde's eyes were filled with rage as he roared, "Guards, seize her..."

"Father, you mustn't!" Nangong Chengkun exclaimed in surprise and came over to dissuade him. "Father, please calm down. Princess Runing is just having a moment of confusion. Please give her two more days."

Looking at the irritable Emperor Mingde, Nangong Wu felt that he had changed too much.

Even when I was angry before, I wasn't this full of hostility. In just a few years, I've become unrecognizable.

She walked out of the imperial study and saw Eunuch Hu bowing and keeping his head down, not daring to say a single word to her.

"Bang bang bang..." The sound of Emperor Mingde smashing things came from the imperial study.

Nangong Wu merely sneered twice and quickly left.

It seems it's time for her to leave. As for the Western Yan Kingdom, let it fend for itself.

She returned to the palace and went directly to her father's Jade Courtyard.

Nangong Xiao happened to be there as well, talking to his father.

Huo Jing saw her first. "Wu Wu, you're back."

"Father, brother." Nangong Wu walked in and sat down in the chair opposite them.

"Sister, your complexion is off. What did the emperor say to you?" Nangong Xiao noticed that something was wrong with her.

"Father, brother, I've fallen out with the emperor," Nangong Wu said.

Huo Jing and Nangong Xiao exchanged a glance.

"Wuwu, what did the emperor say to you? Did he also revoke Jue'er and Xi'er's titles and honors?" Huo Jing thought it was possible.

After all, he cut off the silver donated to the court, and Emperor Mingde was so angry that he was capable of doing such a thing.

"He wanted me to hand over all the weapons to the Armory, but I refused." Nangong Wu still finds it laughable.

With her abilities, how could she be afraid of an emperor?

"How dare he say such a thing?" Huo Jing was also furious.

Nangong Wu said, "He said that I am a princess, enjoying the wealth and honor of the court, and everything should belong to the court."

They also wanted to form a thousand-strong force, and even had a name for it: the "Divine Weapon Army." They also wanted me to teach that force how to use its weapons.

"This Emperor Mingde is becoming more and more shameless! Wuwu, you were right not to agree." Huo Jing supported his daughter's decision.

"Father, we have now fallen out with Emperor Mingde." Nangong Xiao's expression was solemn.

Huo Jing couldn't help but look at his daughter, "Wu Wu, what are your plans?"

"Father, brother," Nangong Wu said to them very solemnly.

"The Western Yan Kingdom will surely perish if it falls into the hands of Nangong Chengkun. I think our family has no need to be loyal to such a person and the court. We should find another way out."

Nangong Xiao also said, "Father, I also think my sister is right. Emperors are generally wary of capable people. Emperor Mingde has already started to dislike our Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion and will make things difficult for us in the future. Why should we put up with such humiliation?"

"Wuwu, whatever you want to do, I will support you," Huo Jing said to his daughter.

"Emperor Mingde could issue an edict at any time to strip me and my two children of our titles. I want to go out and find a piece of land to build a kingdom of my own," Nangong Wu said, expressing her thoughts.

Upon hearing this, both Huo Jing and Nangong Xiao's expressions changed drastically.

"Wuwu, do you want to rebel against the imperial court?"

To establish one's own kingdom is tantamount to opposing the imperial court.

"So what if we rebel? They can't tolerate us, so they won't let us find another way out?" Nangong Wu thought of the faces of Emperor Mingde and his son, and felt that what she had done for the court over the past few years was not worth it at all.

Nangong Xiao thought of another problem, "Little sister, building your own territory will require a lot of money, but your brother will definitely support you. When Ouyang Feng and the others arrive, I will give you all the money I have saved over the years to use first."

"Brother, thank you, but I have money, so I don't need yours." Nangong Wu shook her head at him.

Thinking of the mountains of gold and silver jewelry piled up in her space, a smile involuntarily crept onto her face.

"Little sister, you don't need to be so polite with your brother." Nangong Xiao thought she was being polite to him. "After I killed that old bastard, the Nine Nether Sect Master, everything he owned became mine."

"Really!" Nangong Wu was quite impressed with him.

The Nine Nether Sect has committed countless evil deeds for money. Over the years, they must have amassed a considerable fortune, which is now all theirs.

"Serves him right! Brother, you killed him, which is revenge for yourself! As for his belongings, consider it a small compensation, though it's far from enough to make up for the harm he did to you."

"Xiao'er, your suffering is over. From now on, we will be a family together. You must both be well." Huo Jing looked at his two children and felt extremely satisfied.

"Hmm." Nangong Xiao's lips also curled up. "Just like my sister said, I was destined to face a tribulation, but it's all over now. We'll be fine from now on."

"Father, brother, with me here, no one in this world can touch us. Father, you should enjoy your retirement. Brother, the most important thing for you now is to find me a sister-in-law," Nangong Wu said with a smile.

Nangong Xiao's face suddenly turned red. "Sister, don't joke around. I've never thought about getting married. It's enough for our family to have three children."

Huo Jing immediately objected, "How can you not get married? Your sister has three children, you need to settle down too."

But when he thought of Emperor Mingde's current attitude towards their princely residence, his face darkened again. "Your wedding should be postponed for now."

"Father, don't worry. My brother is a handsome man. How could he not find a wife?" Nangong Wu said with a smile.

"Little sister, please stop making fun of me!" Nangong Xiao's ears turned red.

"Hmm." Huo Jing nodded with a smile, then looked at Nangong Wu and started talking about serious matters.

"Wuwu, now that you've made your decision, what do you want to do?"

Nangong Wu took out a map, unfolded it, and placed it on the table in front of them.

"First, we need to find a good location."

Huo Jing and Nangong Xiao both looked at the map.

"Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I've already found a place I like." Nangong Wu pointed to a spot on the map. "I'd like to choose this place. What do you think?"
